Wes Craven Still Not Locked Down for Scream 4

Just a few days ago the LA Times reported that director Wes Craven was aboard for the first entry into the trilogy of the born again slasher franchise, Scream 4. Turns out they were a bit premature in their findings.

Craven responded to their allegations today via his Twitter account (Follow @wescraven). “SCREAM 4 – LA Times has it wrong. I’m still in talks but nothing has been finalized.”

Attention powers that be — If your intention is to start production in May as reported by the paper as well, you may want to seriously be getting Craven locked down for this flick already. Wow. We really thought this one was in the bag.

Scream 4 SynopsisThe horror series that reignited the genre and grossed more than $500 million worldwide is back!
